It has been nearly a month since my last Weekly Tech Tip post. For the majority of that time our school was on break but in that time there has been a flood of valuable resources to share. Between what is going on in the Middle East, what is going on in Wisconsin, and the Symposium I hosted at Hamline last week I have a lot of resources to pass along this week, far more than usual.
Also, instead of my typical Weekly Tech Tip format, and since processing this video has eaten up my computer resources all week, I am sharing the video of our panel discussion at Hamline University from last week on Equity Issues in Technology & Education. Enjoy.

Do we teachers emphasize traditional colleges/universities too much to the deficit of trade schools? Are we creating social classes? #edchat

I have yet to see any real agreement as to what the goal of education should be. #Edchat

Proctoring standardized tests can't be much different from working airport security

Beware of @m_rhee, who attributes way too much in education to test scores. Not a real reformer.

We are happy with the international community response so far, but he answer is no, the #Libyans don't want any military intervention.

Just told our testing coordinator that I wish all of it were trashed and we could get her a much more rewarding job. :)

for @acarvin, a RT is a source, an interview, a quote. For us, it is insight, first-person accounts previously unimaginable, unavailable.

Twitter told me there was an earthquake in NZ. Facebook told me all my sister-in-laws family were OK. Different networks both valuable.

So facebook is a critical component in fueling a revolution but schools don't think it's appropriate to be used or taught in schools. Huh?

Beiser: Schools were told they could buy art and music teachers. No one did at elementary schools. That means the end of music education.

@garystager courts have basically told school administrators, "do what you think is best..." & increasingly, that's not what's best for kids
